Really? I wouldn't have thought they were so much an evolution of the Trapezium as perhaps the offspring of an ERR with a MG944. What I can't tell is if the omni-directional driver is like the one from the ERR or MG944. Either way sounds interesting.

As for the new amp, I wonder if this is a new "lucid" model? When the original SE34i.3 was announced, Steve mentioned that it included lucid. However, ithe lucid feature was held back because Steve was not happy with the sound - he said it would take sometime to perfect it. Maybe he's perfected it now? Looks like a smaller but similar design of the SE34I.3.

Thanks, as soon as i can figure/remember how to do that I'll see.

I haven't played around with any resistors etc. The general presentation of the HR-ONEs was just not as much to my liking in my large listening room as the ERRs. Great speakers, but that full dispersion of the ERR model just has a grip on me, nothing else sounds right any longer!

That's true. I fell in love with the design with the RL1s, then that solidified with the RL2s and the ERRs exceeded my expectations.

In between the RL2 and the ERR I had the HR-Ones for about a year and though they were better than the RL2 in some ways, I missed that dispersion, that pattern is the closest to real music I've ever heard in a stereo system. That's a hard presentation to beat!

Can't wait for my ZP3. I'm expecting that coupled to my Rega to give me the best sound yet from the Torii and ERRs.

Distant memory, but I seem to recall that it is conceptually the same as the ERR radial driver, but a little different....Maybe a different size??? ...requiring its own tuning to perfect it???...and therefore a little different SQ???

Hopefully ZYGI will chime in and clarify this absurd post. Where does the mind go?
